My Old Lady left me a reminder.

That’s great. And holds much truth.

We recently added aluminum storefront door manufacturing to our portfolio which meant getting a cnc.
One of the new fabricators was playing around with the cnc during setup and made this for me.

Man ,that’s hep!
You can “engrave” points covers and such .

[Fatfatboy]

Great idea. He said he can download off the net, input it in the cnc and kit does its thing. Maybe I’ll get the time to learn how to use it.

Sounds easier than posting pix to this forum

[Fatfatboy]

That’s funny.

To be honest I still can post pictures with no problems from phone or c’puter.
I’m curious why your end is troubling for you.

[m143]

These kids are hardcore.

[hacksaw]

Well most kids were in my day. The land around here was much more like your area 60-65 years ago. I am glad to see your boys out there carrying on so much good stuff .

The problem is the updated photo format.
Jpg is going the way of leaded gas.
So my camera phone has been upgraded with a newer format that supposedly is higher definition but takes less storage. Wasn’t my idea to upgrade it just happened when I gave in to constant reminder to do so.
This forum doesn’t support the new format .
I guess there is a way to change the camera setting and convert the existing jpg format
But it’s annoying

It's a good balance. The boys will spend some time on their phones, and then want to ride or go in the woods and play in the brook.
The trails were getting grown in but that's changing. Watching a kid get anger out on some brush and trees in the way of their riding is pretty cool.
Time to put ice screws in their tires.

Aauugh! I hate forced updates.
It’s my phone! Leave it alone!

[hacksaw]

Yep!
Oh it’s not forced ! It’s they drive you with crazy with constant reminders until in a weak moment one gives in

[Fatfatboy]

You can stop the auto updates in your settings if your is an iphone by going to settings>General>software update>automatic upates and toggle off the DOWNLOAD IOS UPDATE and INSTALL IOS UPDATES.
Yours may have AUTOMATICALLY INSTALL & AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD.

Pic for subject matter

[hacksaw]

Thanks !
Well I did as you suggest . I left an update that doesn’t change the version so we will see.

Now if I can find a way to stay signed in it would sure help . Many times I just dont bother with signing in.  So I skip this forum

[Fatfatboy]

Or using your phone or computer?

Ninjette

[Fatfatboy]

The Duc was my 999 that I still miss but don't want to die this soon.
The black V-Strom belongs to old CW Forum member Doughboy
The Ninjette belongs to a friend of his. He bought it from Doughboy.

[hacksaw]

[Fatfatboy]

About the same way a Sporty is.
